Can these be built over a basement?

Yes, you certainly can! Many people wanting to build a residence or workshop are interested in building over a basement to add space for a handful of purposes. The columns of our buildings can be anchored to piers or a slab. Therefore, similar to a pier, our buildings can be built over a basement as long as it is attached to the foundation like it would be attached to the edge of a slab or a pier. Below, I have provided some pictures that will break down the process step by step for you. 

Step by Step:

Step 1: Setting up mezzanine support columns

Step 2: Installing bar joist between support columns

Step 3: Installing steel decking over bar joists

Step 4: Setting wire mesh on top of steel decking
